Family - After Night Shift Poem by Paul Warren

Family - After Night Shift



She comes home from night shift after 12 hours
Yelling at the dog and using her grumpy powers
Her shift at the hospital in ICU had been a busy one
Where they struggled for each life in a fight to be won
Now all she wanted was to lie down, rest and be relaxed
No thoughts of tomorrow when life's rules remain perplexed.

COMMENTS OF THE POEM
Kim Barney 14 December 2015

Interesting insight into the life of a nurse. I also have a daughter who is a registered nurse. One little thing you will want to fix: in line five the word you want is LIE instead of LAY. Sorry, I can't help it. I used to be an English teacher.
